These kinds of docs need to indexable and searchable by search
engines. Only then will they be useful. I don't think markdown files
in the source would be good place for these.
The other docs related to source/code documentation can be provided in
the source as we are attempting to provide now. These need to be
directly accessible for devs when developing, so having them in the
git repo is good.
